East Bay
Until recently, East Bay was one of Rhode Island's best-kept travel secrets. The
region, which is comprised of the towns of Barrington, Bristol, East Providence and
Warren, is steeped in British and Colonial heritage. Home of the oldest Fourth of July
Parade in the United States, East Bay is noteworthy for historic Bristol Harbor,
delightful Colonial inns and bed & breakfasts, and miles of old stone fences. The
14-mile East Bay Bike Path which runs through all four communities offers an unparalleled
view of Narragansett Bay to cyclists, walkers, joggers and rollerbladers. Blithewold
Mansion & Gardens is a 33-acre waterfront estate boasting a 45-room manor house and
some of the most beautiful gardens in the eastern United States. Other attractions include
Linden Place (a Federal period mansion with a very colorful history), Coggeshall Farm
Museum, Herreshoff Marine Museum (where six successful America's Cup defenders were
built), Crescent Park Carousel (one of the finest surviving examples of hand-carved
carousels in the country), the Antique Center in Warren, the Haffenreffer Museum,
waterfront Colt State Park and the new Audubon Society Environmental Education Center.
